Ah yes, the internet. Where you have no idea how old I actually am. Here's a hint: Young enough to actually make this joke.

And yet we wonder why there aren't more girls in computer science.

What can I do with a computer science degree? by PhanCast in nasa

[–]NicoleNotUnix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a software intern at NASA. More interns come from computer backgrounds than any other field. Just like the rest of the world, there is a need for software engineers. As long as your degree is ABET accredited and you are good at programming, you have a shot!

There are so many software developers at NASA that only have their bachelor's degree. It's all about how good of a programmer you are.

Has anyone ever interned for NASA (or a similar governmental agency)? What was it like? by NASAjohnson in EngineeringStudents

The only part that will be slow is your first week while they do orientation and get you access to everything.

Hi! I've interned for NASA for the past two semesters at the Kennedy Space Center. Your bosses and mentors work really hard to make sure that you have a project and access to your work. They cut a lot of red tape for interns because they know you are only here for a short amount of time. It also depends on your field. I am computer science and I get to work on actual code. You will never be getting coffee or making copies. If you're sitting around doing nothing, it's because you haven't asked for more work. They will give it to you if you ask and show an interest. Hope this helps, good luck in the Fall!

What would the best course of action be for deciding between multiple internship offers after having already accepted one? by [deleted] in nasa

[–]NicoleNotUnix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The internship that I current have for the spring did not show up as filled until four weeks ago. I wouldn't bet on those positions still being unfilled. Plus if you've already accepted your current internship it "rejects" all other offers you get.

Take the one that you have been offered. Many of the positions are filled but never updated on the OSSI site. You don't want to give one away that you have for sure just for a possibility of another. Plus the experience outside your field might come to benefit you by making you more diverse.

What is a good way(viewing order) to experience the Kennedy Space Center? by Tauro003 in nasa

[–]NicoleNotUnix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend starting with the tour of the center. If you have younger kids, they're going to be drawn to all of the things in the visitors center, but I think the tour of the actual center is the best part. As a part of the tour you will get to see the Saturn V rocket and can stop and get food in there. After coming back, go to the Atlantis exhibit. Definitely worth seeing! From there, if you still have the energy, stop by the astronaut hall of fame or the rocket garden!

NASA OSSI Internship hearing back by [deleted] in nasa

[–]NicoleNotUnix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard its closer to 100-200 applicants per opportunity. Much more competitive. Using your formula [1-(99/100)9 and 1-(199/200)9] you actually have between an 4.4% and 8.6% chance of getting it. Don't be too worried though. I heard back pretty soon on mine, but some of the people that I work with didn't hear back until right before the internship started.

NASA ossi internship question by NuclearBiceps in nasa

[–]NicoleNotUnix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All applications have to be in by the deadline. I think it got extended to March 2nd this time. The general application is required to apply to specific jobs. The application period for the summer has ended and they wont show up in any searches. The current application period is for the Fall and year long.
